Garrett Hampson Steals Another Base

Sep. 19, 2018

More from

.Colorado Rockies second baseman/shortstop Garrett Hampson got a rare start on Tuesday night, and he made good on it by knocking a single and stealing his second career base off Clayton Kershaw. Hampson played well at Triple-A this year, and he's the team's likely starting second baseman next year since DJ LeMahieu is a free agent after the season. Hampson racked up six home runs and 17 stolen bases while hitting .314 at Triple-A. He'll likely land a few more starts this week while starting shortstop Trevor Story is sidelined with elbow inflammation, but he isn't expected to be an everyday player until 2019.

Garrett Hampson Called Up

Aug. 14, 2018

More from

Colorado Rockies infield prospect Garrett Hampson was recalled from the minors on Tuesday. Relief pitcher Scott Obert was put on the paternity list in a corresponding move. Hampson does have six hits in his first 20 at-bats (.300) in the major leagues, but he's not likely to be up long or play much. He's the team's No. 4 prospect, and Hampson was hitting a cool .314 with 10 home runs, 39 RBI and 34 stolen bases in 101 games between Double-A Hartford and Triple-A Albuquerque this year. He's one to keep an eye on in dynasty leagues.

Hampson was sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Garrett Hampson Steals First MLB Base

Jul. 31, 2018

More from

Colorado Rockies second baseman Garrett Hampson was brought up to fill in for the injured DJ LeMahieu, and so far, he's been everything the team hoped he would be. Predicted to be a strong batting average play with light power, some speed, and an advanced batting eye, Hampson has fit that prediction to a T. He's hitting .300, he's smacked a pair of extra-base hits, he's stolen a base, and he's got a 4/5 BB/K ratio so far in just 20 major league at-bats. It's obviously early, but it's certainly looking like Hampson could be 2019's replacement for LeMahieu if the team were to let him walk at the end of the season.

Garrett Hampson Recalled By Rockies

Jul. 21, 2018

More from

The Colorado Rockies have recalled Garrett Hampson from Triple-A to take the injured DJ LeMahieu's spot on the roster. Hampson is currently ranked as the sixth best prospect in the Rockies' organization by MLB Pipeline. He is making his MLB debut on Saturday after hitting .305 with eight home runs, 36 RBI and 33 stolen bases over 91 minor league games in 2018. Hamspon offers impressive speed and is a threat to steal whenever he gets on base. If the Rockies give him ample playing time during LeMahieu's absence, he could be a middle infield option to watch in deeper leagues.

Garrett Hampson May Still Get Promoted

May. 25, 2018

More from

Colorado Rockies second baseman Garrett Hampson is still vying for a call up to replace injured DJ LeMahieu. Hampson was recently promoted to Triple-A Albuquerque, and while his .233 batting average isn't terribly impressive, his .368 on-base percentage is no laughing matter. Hampson has continued his impressive patience at the Triple-A level by racking up more walks than strikeouts there as well, giving him a 28/22 K/BB ratio across two levels this season. The linchpin in his promotion is how long DJ LeMahieu will actually be out of commission, and so far, that's an unknown. LeMahieu has been making notable progress in returning from a fractured thumb, but there's a big step between playing catch and hitting major league pitching. With the current combination of Daniel Castro and Pat Valaika hitting just .143 over the last week and Colorado in the thick of a pennant race, Hampson might still get the call.

Garrett Hampson May Be Called Up

May. 18, 2018

Colorado Rockies prospect second baseman Garrett Hampson may soon make the jump to the big leagues to fill in for the injured DJ LeMahieu. LeMahieu is sidelined for an unknown period of time due to a small broken bone in his thumb, and he's currently been replaced by a platoon of Pat Valaika and Daniel Castro. However, both of those options are terrible hitters as Castro is hitting just .161 and Valaika is even worse at .113 this season. Hampson was just promoted from Double-A Hartford to Triple-A Albuquerque, but the 23-year-old may be able to get a quick bump to the big leagues if the Rockies decide they want to give him a little taste. Hampson hit .304 with four home runs, 19 stolen bases, and 28 runs scored in 38 games at Double-A this season.

Garrett Hampson Called Up To Triple-A

May. 17, 2018

More from

Colorado Rockies shortstop and No. 8 ranked prospect Garrett Hampson has been called up from Double-A Hartford to Triple-A Albuquerque. Currently in Double-A, Hampson is hitting .304 with an .857 OPS in 172 plate appearances and will make the Triple-A level for the first time in his professional career. Hampson is behind Brendan Rodgers, Ryan McMahon and Ryan Vilade in terms of infielder prospects, so he's got a lot of work to do to get himself up on the roster. He holds no redraft value for now, but he's one to keep an eye on in keeper formats.
